Hi,

I was able to configure the thumbnail via proxy and got it working in our internal test system.

#http://[DMA IP]/videothumbnails/video.htm?type=Generic%20Images&source=[image URL]refresh=1000&proxy=true

On the customer staging system the images are not showing on the DMA that needs to access them via proxy.

Could you please tell me which port should be open between the DMAs?

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend making use of the <DMAIP> placeholder in the URL. It will automatically use either the IP address of the DMA, or the FQDN as configured in the https configuration in the maintenancesettings.xml and apply http or https automatically.

No additional ports need to be opened on the DMA when making use of the VideoThumbnails proxy. When using the proxy, the DMA needs to be able to download the images from the specified source URL.
